Every chance you get it is always a good idea to build a good rapport with someone on "the inside".

I stopped by Speedway tonight and offered the chic who was working half of my coupons (I know from previous conversations that she is a fellow hardcore couponer) if she took the time to do my BOGO free coupons right and she agreed!!

I paid $0.12 for 30 bags of candy!!!!

I gave her 14 coupons and kept 15 for myself. I wish I would have thought to offer her just a couple coupons, she probably would have said yes anyways. She was very excited to get them.

Why I Started Saving Money

I was a notorious one stop shopper for years! I didn't bother with clipping coupons because I found that generic brands were cheaper than national brands even when using a coupon. What I REALLY found was that I was not only blowing more than $150 a week on groceries for four but we never really had any groceries in the house. So, I had to teach myself some new tricks. I stumbled across a couple grocery blogs and found that coupons combined with sales and a little intuitiveness could stock my cupboards, my freezer and my wallet! I now budget $40 a week for groceries and many times go under budget and we have plenty of food left over! Not to mention all the free grocery staples I use for Birthdays and Xmas! My goal is to get as many people as possible in the TriState involved, since I cannot possibly go to every store, then we can all help our neighbors save lots of green!
